Can we use slack instead of IRC

[punit vara]

Hi

Can we use a slack for informing all the students general or common
things ? Its easy to add @everyone and that it every student will get
notified about specific instructions. Even weekly meetings if we can
arrange in slack it would be better than IRC. There are many benefits
of Slack over IRC(I hope you guys are aware of it) so can we have
official slack channel for RTEMS ?

Thanks
